Could it be that he really got into trouble with something "unclean"? I would like to tell my friends here, don’t be anxious, let’s take a look at the information below, maybe it can solve your doubts.

Many women often have nightmares, such as dreaming that their throats are choked by someone, and they are extremely frightened and unable to shout or move. I always feel bad when I wake up from a nightmare. Some people even feel depressed, suspicious, full of wild guesses, and worried all day long, seeming to be in a state of panic all day long.

Why do people dream? The physiological and psychological mechanisms of dreams have not yet been fully solved scientifically, but two points are very certain: First, external stimuli can induce dreams. For example, some scholars have poured ice water on sleepers, and used flashes and sounds to stimulate them and then woke them up. The results showed that the proportions of the three stimuli that were incorporated into dreams were 42%, 23%, and 9%, respectively; the second is that whatever you think about during the day, you will dream about at night.

(1) As the saying goes, "What you think about during the day you will dream about at night." Did you watch a scary movie during the day?

(2) What is your sleeping posture? Generally speaking, if your chest is pressed, it is easy to have nightmares. For example, if you accidentally put your hand on your chest and press on the side of your heart while sleeping, you may have a nightmare. If this happens, it is best to lie flat on your back with a pillow that is not too high.
